#752: Should We Go to the Moon or Mars Next?
We are on the verge of sending humans back to the Moon. At the same time others prefer we focus our exploration on Mars. It’s a tough choice.
#751: Vacuum Energy
Even empty space isn’t empty. It’s filled with quantum fluctuations of spacetime itself. Which can be measured with Casimir Effect experiment
#750: Supernova Early Warning System
If we can accurately detect neutrinos being emitted during supernova, we might be able to get on target before the light show even starts.
#749: Dark Energy Changing Over Time
We thought Dark Energy was constant, but new results from DESI say maybe not, and if it wasn’t the Hubble Tension would be easier to solve.
#748: Fast Radio Bursts
Fast Radio Bursts the briefest of moments, some dead stars can flash brighter than their entire galaxy (in Radio light) and then live to do it again and again. It’s time for an update on fast radio bursts, a phenomenon we’ve only known about for a few decades.
#747: Rogue Planets
Most planets orbit stars. That’s the rule, right? Sometimes planets just go rogue. Let’s learn about planets living free from stars.
#746: Dust Storms
What causes these storms and how do they work differently on the worlds in the solar system. But what about the exoplanets?
#745: How We Know if Asteroids Will Attack
New asteroids are found every day, and every day we learn that those asteroids don’t have any murderous intentions. But how do we learn that?
#744: Lunar Time
What time is it on the Moon? The Moon orbits the Earth, so it doesn’t fall into a specific time zone. It’s time to introduce Lunar Time.
#743: What Else Can We Learn From Gravitational Waves?
Sure, the masses of merging black holes are nice to know, but what else can we learn from gravitational black holes?
